A good tool for letting you know what your amp is doing, maybe... I think what M5 is trying to say is that you could still kill your sub or any other speaker in your sound stage just from sheer over power and a person that is happy with the gain nob still won't learn that lesson. Your ear will let you hear distortion coming out of your speaker thus easily setting your gains to a safe level. Andrew

Because it adds no value and does nothing good for your system. It will not "tune" your amps correctly, not even close. If you think it will then perhaps you should describe how you'd use it and why you've selected to use it that way. O'scopes can do A TON of other things, but are also WAY overkill for what you want to do. I don't understand at all why anyone thinks they need to set their gain to the threshold of clipping in a system that is only being listened to. Complete idiotic idea. It won't help you protect ANYTHING. If you feel it might, then you don't understand the "tool" and definitely shouldn't use it. Its a gimmick that will make you feel overconfident and not at all help the cause. Please people. Think this over. What level are you CD's/mp3's or whatever recorded at? If you don't know then you CANNOT pick a clipping level for gain setting. You could pick an overly conservative one, but considering the target audience for the device that will just automatically make your system underwhelming. And no, there is no standard so YES all your music will be at different levels. If you want to set your gain before you listen to EVERY song based on the song then go for it and I would then agree this device could almost make sense...but you'd have to be a complete fucktard to want/need to do that.

For some reason I never got any of your emails. Idk what the weird technical issue was, but I have your enclosure done, wrapped up and tucked away safe. I'm very sorry for this issue and I would like to send you the enclosure free of charge. Everyone on here knows I am a person of my word. Andrew

If you have to ask... I think it's better to go a different route.

Clipping ain't the end of the world. Don't know why everyone makes it out to be so. Got to learn to trust your eyes, ears, and sniffer. IF your driver is stressed, it will tell you .

I found this manual for it: http://audioclinik.com/manuals/usa.pdf Don't see anything about switching out the amp fusing

Spent the whole 3 day weekend on this SOB!!! Plan on installing it tomorrow after work. I still have some gasket and window trim to put on it. This damn thing is a tank! 4+ sheets of MDF, 10 yards of material, and 2 cans of spray glue. Lancelot, thanks for the input on the charger! P.S. no more SoundStream Spies either, I kept waiting for the damn thing to transform and kick my ass!!! When it fell on the floor and tried to run you could hear it hit the floor! He was prob. displaced after I got rid of the wood pile behind my shed, now he's extra crispy!

Not surprised at all. Exactly my point in the SMD Distortion analyzer thread.

It could be useful. Afterall, the highly regarded manufacturer ZED has them built in to their amps
